The hype surrounding the soon-to-be-announced HTC One M9 is reaching fever pitch and even Qualcomm has got in on the act by teasing – and then confirming – that HTC's upcoming flagship will feature its newly released system on a chip, the Snapdragon 810.
This is excellent news as the Snapdragon 810 brings a host of new top of the range features including an octa-core processor, improved Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, and better 4K support.
When we benchmarked the Snapdragon 810 we saw huge performance improvements compared to previous versions such as the Snapdragon 801, which the HTC One M8 runs on, so the HTC One M9 should be markedly more powerful than its predecessor.
First a tease, then a reveal
In a bid to get in on the excitement for the HTC One M9, which will be revealed on March 1, Qualcomm posted a Vine video on Twitter with a clock that prominently shows 8:10.
The video also displays the time as 10:08, which HTC uses in all of its press renders for its devices.
If that wasn't clear enough, Qualcomm also tweeted "It's almost time for a new #Snapdragon 810 powered smartphone. #MWC15"
In only a few days we'll see the Snapdragon 810-toting HTC One M9 in all its glory – a great way to kick off MWC 2015.
